Is it necessary to be an Orlanth [Aspect] worshiper to be a devotee of Vanganth? I'd assumed not.
One of my player's PC is a God-talker of Vanganth. Time hasn't been an issue yet, so I'd just
assumed that for a devotee the time would still be 60%. With only one affinity to raise, the offset
for this heavy time requirement was access to the secret a lot quicker than for a multi-affinity
cult.
What is the initiate/devotee time requirement for membership solely in a subcult? Is it 10%/40%
(devotion taking 30% greater time than initiation), 30%/60% or just 10% for either level - which can
be implied from p181 of HW:RiG?
